I normally do not write many reviews, but I must write one here. My father was just discharged from this facility – he was in the rehab center post hospitalization – and it was nothing short of a nightmare. The level of care and responsiveness of the staff was horrifying. I honestly don’t have it in me to go into deep detail, but do NOT send your loved ones here, unless you’re fairly indifferent on whether or not you see them breathing again after. This facility was recommended by the Mayo Clinic – we trusted them, not knowing better. Do not make the same mistake. Oh, and his wallet "mysteriously" went missing there. Do not – please – make the same mistake we did and send your loved one here.

Westminster Woods has a reputation for caring for its residents. This all changed when my relative moved from Independent Living to Long-Term Care Living. After 7 years at the facility, my parent is now living in fear that the nurses will not care for her. They have not administered her pain medications as ordered and they remain defensive and aloof. As her Power of Attorney for Healthcare I am very concerned about Quality.

My mother-in-law is at The Terrace of Jacksonville. She’s in rehab right now, but she will transition over to long-term care. She’s only been in there for a couple of weeks and as of now, the care seems very good. They see about her often. She’s doing good on the rehab side. They’re helping her get a little bit more energy by exercising her and building some muscle, to help her move around and such. The care is really good. The food is good for what she says. It looks like an older facility, but there are always people around. If you need help, the nurses’ station is close. So far, I’m appreciating them.
The staff is very informative and very helpful. They’re helping us with the Medicaid process and getting all that lined up. They’ve been extremely helpful in that regard. They have a courtyard where they can go out and sit, a visitation room, which is a large room where they do a lot of activities, bingo, arts and crafts, and things like that. They have quite a bit of activities. She’s given a monthly calendar of activities. They have a Sunday devotional that she does attend. There are activities daily for the residents and they do come in and get her. She’s not able to walk on her own, so they come in and wheel her to whatever she wants to do that day.

River Garden was negligent in their care for my mother. She was admitted for rehabilitation after falling getting into her bed and laid for several hours while she was living at The Coves. While under their care, they glazed over a SLUMs test they administered in a conference call we had with them as her family. This test indicated my mother was suffering from full on dementia at a score of 13 out of 30. Knowing her cognition was this far gone they proceeded with a hard sales pitch with her to keep her in their Long Term Care facility. They refused to take care of her hygiene needs and as a result she transferred to another facility with rashes and sores. They refused to order her a hospital bed after our decision to move her to another facility. They indicated she didn’t need one and we should buy her one. She had repeated problems transferring from a wheelchair to the bed at River Garden and this was discussed on conference calls and her file was documented as such. Some of the staff said she did need a medical bed and they had documented her file as such, but the administration said she didn’t need it, they would not try and request one from Medicare and they advised us we could go buy her one. The social worker assigned to her case. as an advocate for her care, stopped participating in conference calls with us. When we asked what they would provide for the Long Term Care they wanted us to transfer her to, they could not answer. The price was over double what every other facility wanted. $13000 seemed outrageous. They did state if she left it would be close to impossible to ever get readmitted. We were never told my mother would need Memory Care or that they could provide it. We have since moved my mother to another facility. She has been PROPERLY evaluated and has been diagnosed with dementia and severe anxiety for which she is receiving care and medications. We as her family have had to make decisions and enact our Durable Power of Attorney to ensure her financial, emotional and care needs are met. Unfortunately River Garden never truly addressed my mothers state of mind and did not prepare us for what we would need to do for her. When they told us we could go buy her a bed it became apparent they did not care about her welfare unless they would benefit financially from it.

The Lifecare Center of Jacksonville is a blessing to the community. My mother 88 years, an Alzheimer’s/dementia patient has been in this facility for the past 3 months. This center is an outstanding, clean, warm and welcoming place. The rooms, the beds and the patients are always kept clean. The CNAs work very hard, they are so kind to the patients and always willing to do things with a smile. The Nursing crew is also very helpful.
Tony, the Nursing Director is the most helpful person I have ever met. Any problems, he is the person to approach! He takes care of each and every patient as a family member!
I won’t be doing justice if I don’t mention the friendly office staff right from the the smiling and welcoming receptionists. Iris, the admissions Secretary and Allison, the billing department are so efficient in their paperwork.

My husband was in the University Crossing for rehab. It was outstanding, clean, didn’t have any smell, and they let me bring our chihuahua. The staff was outstanding, and the rehab people were outstanding. I just can’t say enough good things over there. The only thing that deterred me from putting him back there was the drive over there. They were outstanding from cleanliness, to staff, decorations, friendliness, and helpfulness. He was on regular food, and he had a physical therapist that came to his room and helped him with swallowing and gave him exercises. They even recognized that he might have a problem down the road.

The staff at this facility seemed very friendly and helpful towards the residents. I witnessed several students from a nearby private Catholic school also partake in activities with several of the residents. The students were singing a wide variety of songs and playing games using balloons with the residents of the facility. I also saw several games set up for the residents such as checkers and parchisi. I also saw several drawings done for the residents which were probably also done by some of the students from the private school. The exterior of the facility seemed very welcoming, and the landscaping on the exterior appeared to be very well attended to. The interior seemed very spacious, especially in the recreation area, which was where I was most of the time. Overall, I feel that this is a good facility where the staff genuinely care about the residents. I would definitely say that it was a favorable environment, although I have not really visited any similar facilities anywhere before.

I stayed at this facility for one week. It’s not a rehab,only a nursing home. Nurses are sub-par and don’t care for patients. I waited 2 hours to have my bedpan changed because I couldn’t get out of bed. Some of the nurses are mean and nasty and 90% of them are lazy and don’t want to change the bed sheets or bandages. They speak down to you and when you get a nurse to finally come in your room, they tell you they’ll be right back and don’t come back. I don’t recommend this place at all. Please read reviews before sending your loved one here. This place is horrible.

My father came to this facility under the guise of rehab due to a fall – of which he recovered from. This was not a heart event or a stroke; he lost his balance and fell. He’s been at Regents for months and it has been a nightmare. As you will read over and over again, getting anyone on the phone to discuss care or general well being is a joke. While I do not feel he’s being abused, I do not feel as though his care is remotely a priority. They are short staffed, which is understandable given the state of the world. It was very clear from the beginning that they were suggesting to him he should stay and immediately started a Medicaid application. If this facility has done anything, it has made it clear that my father should no longer be living on his own and should be moving back to our home state. So, I guess thank you Regents, for being incapable of providing appropriate care.

The staff at Lanier Rehabilitation Center seem to be very friendly and were taking good care of my dad. He was first in quarantine, so he was alone in his room; he was happier then. Now that they moved him, he has had two different roommates; he was not happy with either one. The first one wasn’t friendly, and the second one seems to be mentally disturbed. From what I could tell, it’s not very good for somebody that’s just there for rehab.
They had no activities, no common interest things that I can tell. Daddy was very bored because there was nothing for him to do. He’s very unhappy, and he’s getting more and more depressed every day. He’s not happy with the food because they won’t give him regular liquids. Everything has to be thickened, and he doesn’t like the way it tastes. They puree his food, and he’d rather nor puree his food; they’re just going according to the dietician’s recommendations.
The place looks nice and well-kept; it has trees and flowers. As far as I could tell, it has good parking. He told me that he’d have to wait for hours before somebody would come and put him in bed or take him out of bed. The staff that I’d talked to were very kind, and they’re professional. From what I was able to see, the place looked clean enough.

I would like to thank the Staff of this facility for the loving care and kindness they gave to my family member while she was there for rehabilitation 3 different times within a 2 year time frame. I have had a Mother, Aunt, Aunt in Law and several friends whose family have been there and have nothing but good things to say about this facility. While the location is a turn off for most people, I found the facility to be clean, comfortable and very homelike. The staff was exceptional and were always courteous, kind and helpful to my Mother and all of us when we visited. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Jacksonville, FL
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
